A vintage 1940s full apron or sleeveless overall smock by ‘Hawkins of Preston’, made from printed cotton fabric with a great multicoloured abstract floral & tropical birds design on a white background. It slips over the head with no side opening, has a V neck & deep armholes edged with dark red bias binding, more binding in a chevron at the waist where the waist ties are attached & at the top of the large patch pockets. Could also work as a sun dress / smock or beach cover-up.
